Pure Joy

The kids first time to an amusement park was such a picture of pure joy.

At the end of the ride, I asked, “J did you like the ride?” He shook his head yes. I then asked, “Do you want to go on it again?” He burst into tears and said “no pease” over and over again. Maybe a roller coaster in the dark is a bit much for a two year old!

Lesson learned. Just because Adventureland does not enforce height limits does not mean that a responsible parent should not enforce the height limit. I forgot that small little bodies jerk quite a bit while going upside down on roller coasters. The girls only response at the end of the ride, “that really hurt my neck mommy!” Oops!

I absolutely love watching my kids experience things for the first time. No expectations of what the experience should look like; it is just pure joy.
